Modifying a VMware ESX application monitor

Authorized users can modify all parameters except the IP address of a VMware ESX server. When the IP

address of a monitored VMware ESX server changes, authorized users must add a new application

monitor for the VMware ESX server. The new application monitor cannot inherit the history data from the
previous application monitor.
To modify a VMware ESX application monitor:

1.

Click the Resource tab.

2.

From the navigation tree, select Application Manager > Application Monitor.
The application monitor list page displays all application monitors.

3.

Click the Modify icon

for the VMware ESX application monitor you want to modify.

The page for modifying the VMware ESX application monitor appears.

4.

Modify the following parameters:

{

IP Address—Cannot be modified.

{

Name—Enter the unique application monitor name. H3C recommends naming the application
monitor as Application name_VMware ESX server IP address.

{

Use Template—Select Enable or Disable from the list.

{

Template—Click the

Configure link next to the Template field to select an existing template.

The Template field is automatically populated with the name of the selected template. For more

information about configuring application templates, see "

2 Quick start

." This field appears

only when you select Enable from the Use Template list.

{

Description—Enter a description for the application monitor.

{

Polling Interval (min)—Select a polling interval for the application monitor. Available options

include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, and 30. The default polling interval is 5 minutes. A shorter polling
interval provides more accurate real-time data but consumes more system resources. This field is

available only when you select Disable from the Use Template list.

{

Username—Enter the username of the VMware ESX administrator. This field is available only
when you select Disable from the Use Template list.

{

Password—Enter the password of the VMware ESX administrator. This field is available only
when you select Disable from the Use Template list.

{

Contact—Enter the contact information, such as name, email address, and telephone number.
The default is the username of the operator who created the application monitor. This field is
available only when you select Disable from the Use Template list.

{

Related Applications—Click Add next to this filed. On the Select Application dialog box that
appears, select the application that the VMware ESX server depends on.

Enter the complete or part of the application monitor name in the Search field at the top of
the page, and click Search.

Select the application that the VMware ESX server depends on.

Click OK.

Operating system applications, such as Windows, AIX, SCO UNIX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD,
HP-UX, Solaris, Mac OS, and Linux, cannot be selected. Operators can view all dependencies

of the application in the dependency topology.
To remove the relationship between VMware and the specified application, select the
application in the Related Applications field, and then click Delete.
